You'll have made a friend in Adam now, he loves that show *lol* Basil Fawlty is too psychotic for me I'm afraid, although seeing him beat the crap out of his car with a tree branch was quite funny...  |

Basil is convinced that Fawlty Towers would be a top-rate establishment if it wasn't for the guests, who are merely sent along to annoy him and to prevent the smooth-running of the hotel. Incredibly class conscious, Basil adopts attitudes of superiority that are quite unjustified. The guests are either objects of derision or scorn, or objects to improve his position in the social hierarchy. www.btinternet.com/~c.tomlinson/fawlty1.htmlBasil : ...Oh! Oh, I see!...It's my fault, is it?...Oh, of course, there I was thinking it was your fault because I left you in charge, or _Manuel's_ fault for not waking you, when all the time it was _my_ fault! Oh, it's so obvious now, I've seen the light! Ah well, I must be punished then, mustn't I? (slaps his bottom) You're a naughty boy Fawlty, don't do it again! Mr H: Couldn't find the freeway. Had to take a little back street called the M5. Basil: Well I'm sorry it wasn't wide enough for you. A lot of the English cars have steering wheels. Basil: Can't we get you on Mastermind, Sybil? Next contestant Sybil Fawlty from Torquay, special subject the bleeding obvious. [Basil is just trying to fix a stuffed head of a moose on the wall when the telephone rings. It is Sybil.] Basil: Yes, Fawlty Towers, yes, hello? ... I was just doing it, you stupid woman. I just put it down to come here to be reminded by you to do what I'm already doing! I mean what's the point of reminding me to do what I'm already doing. I mean what is the bloody point?! I'm doing it, aren't I!? |

I love Fawlty Towers. Quite possibly the best TV comedy ever concieved. Pitty John Laraqette (?spelling) had to obtain the right and make a crapy remaike called Payne.
